The firm’s investigation revealed that the Defendant lost control of the Viper, skid 200 feet, jumped the curb, hit a telephone pole and struck our client as he walked down the sidewalk. After striking our client, the Viper traveled another 100 feet before coming to rest in the center of Alpharetta Highway. At the time of the accident, the driver was a mechanic for a local Dodge Dealership and had been “test driving” the Viper.

A teenaged man suffered complete fractures to both of his thighbones (bi-lateral femur fractures) following a head-on collision on Haynes Bridge Road in North Fulton County. The leg fractures required internal fixation surgery with the placement of hardware to stabilize the injuries.

After the fall, the restaurant removed all evidence of the concrete ramp and later claimed that the debris could not be found.

A man in his late 20’s was coming home from a club in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia when he was rear ended by a drunk driver. The defendant driver attempted to flee the scene by hailing a passing taxicab. An unidentified off-duty Roswell Police Officer witnessed the event. The firm conducted a search and located the off-duty officer. Thereafter, the firm personally interviewed the officer and obtained a statement, which demonstrated that the defendant was so drunk that she could barely stand up.

A woman in her early 20’s suffered strained ligaments in her wrist after the defendant pulled in front of her at an intersection in Gwinnett County.
